Chapter 18 [Promotion Test]
"What? Are you going to apply for promotion to the red belt? And is it a secret promotion?"
In the Supervisory Council, the Supervisor Qin Qianqiu looked at the boy in front of him in surprise. With his mind, he was a little surprised when he heard this strange request and understood why Luo Xiao did this. What really surprised him was that this disciple had just advanced to the yellow belt half a month ago, so he advanced so quickly. According to the ten meridians he had opened when he first advanced, this was the terrifying speed of opening two meridians in a day! How could it be?
Qin Qianqiu stared at Luo Xiao's face and said suspiciously: "Are you really opening the thirty-two meridians?"
Luo Xiao nodded calmly and said, "Yes! The disciple has opened thirty-two meridians, the Hunyuan Yi Qi Art has broken through the fourth level, and the ten-six-scattered martial arts have also reached a small success."
Qin Qianqiu frowned and said, "I believe that your Ten Jue Strikes have achieved a small success, but the thirty-two meridians..." He looked at Luo Xiao's calm and composed face and suddenly realized that this kid must have hidden something when he advanced that day...
Qin Qianqiu smiled and shook his head: "You guy, others are afraid that they are not outstanding enough, but you hide it... I really don't know how to say hello to you. Okay, go to Shenglong Tower, I personally preside over the test for you. Remember, I have returned your favor."
On the fourth floor of Shenglong Tower, under the witness of the supervisor Qin Qianqiu and the supervisor Gu Songyun, Luo Xiao began to advance to the test.
The first item is very simple to measure the pulse. As Luo Xiao pressed his palms, white lights on the Yuan-measuring stone lit up one after another. After only a few breaths, it kept lit up to the top of the stone tablet. Without counting, you can tell that the thirty-two pulses are fully opened.
Qin Qianqiu, who was watching from the side, twitched his lips slightly and shook his head secretly: "This kid is a little too cautious, he really concealed his cultivation."
The ancient deacon nodded, and wrote the first item on the album to record it. He said: "The second item, Hunyuan Yi Qi Art practice has reached the fourth level, and the Qi and blood are like tides, and evil spirits are clear to you." He said, "Yellow Belt disciple Luo Xiao, you can pass the second item when you go in now and support it for a moment."
Luo Xiao bowed to take the order, greeted Qin Qianqiu, and then turned around and walked into the test room.
Qin Qianqiu looked at Deacon Gu: "How long do you think this boy can last?"
Deacon Gu did not understand the inside story. He saw that Luo Xiao was brought by the supervisor himself, and only thought that Luo Xiao’s elders and supervisors had old age, and once the test was not done, he would be merciful. He pondered and said, "This child’s eyes are clear and his behavior is calm and determined. I believe that evil spirits are difficult to invade. There should be no big problem when supporting him for a moment."
Qin Qianqiu shook his head, knowing that this kid had broken through to the blood refining stage early and kept hiding his weakness, but he was afraid it was not that simple.
When Qin Qianqiu and his two thoughts, Luo Xiao had already entered the test room. After stepping into it, the door of the room was automatically closed. The darkness suddenly fell into the front of his eyes, and a cold air rushed towards him. He listened with his ears carefully, as if there were still waves of gloomy and strange laughter, sometimes left and right, sometimes front and behind, suddenly floating. He suddenly fell into the darkness, his eyes could not see or measure his ears, which was creepy. He was a little timid and his will was not firm enough. Not to mention a moment, he could not hold on for a moment.
Regarding the test of this blood refining period, martial arts classes were all over the place. The seniors of the red belt and black belt were also secretive. It must be because of the limitations of the classroom rules. Now Luo Xiao turned sideways and understood what was going on. Thinking of the eight characters that the ancient deacon said before entering, "The Qi and blood are like tides, and evil spirits are evasive." I felt a little confused in my heart. At this moment, the qi sinks into the Dantian, his eyes are closed and quiet, and he doesn't speak or move.
After a while, Luo Xiao keenly felt something light floating towards him, and as the thing drifted closer, the yin and cold air became heavier and heavier. This yin and cold air was not like the cold air of ice and snow, but like the yin and cold air of death that a person drowned in the water. With every breath of inhalation, the breath of life will fade away little by little.
"It's now!" Luo Xiao's eyes suddenly opened and he growled, "No matter what you are, just die for me!"
The air shook violently, and a red light of blood and energy visible to the naked eye rose from Luo Xiao's body, like a blood-colored flame, bursting out into his body, burning, as if a phantom of a dragon was hovering around and roaring towards the endless darkness.
Sneak! It seemed that something was burning, and a shrill scream suddenly came out of the air, like a mouse that was stomped on.
As the long scream disappeared, the temperature of the entire dark room quickly remained the same as that of the outdoors, and the extremely uncomfortable coldness disappeared.
So far, Luo Xiao has eaten half of the dragon tail, which is the flesh and blood of the semi-god beast that almost turns into a dragon! How powerful is the qi and blood contained? If it weren't for his hair cutting and marrow cleaning, ordinary warriors and even warriors would not be able to withstand it. It is estimated that a piece of dragon meat would seep blood all over the pores of the body, and they would become bloodless before they were eaten. Once Luo Xiao circulates his blood, it can be said that it is easy to eliminate all evil spirits, and it is difficult for demons to get close to them, let alone some evil spirits.
"Evil evil! What exactly is it?" Luo Xiao slowly withdrew his blood and thought quietly for a while. He couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, turned around and pushed the door out.
Outside the test room, Qin Qianqiu and Deacon Gu heard the sound of the door, looked up and looked surprised. They came out in less than half a moment, right? They couldn't hold on for a moment?
Qin Qianqiu walked forward and frowned and said, "Luo Xiao, why don't you hold on for a while? Can't you bear it?"
Deacon Gu was about to say something, but he noticed Luo Xiao's face and said nothing, but he didn't say anything. According to his past experience, any unqualified person who left the middle without time was basically blue and white, his eyes were frightened, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was about to dizzy the next moment. However, looking at Luo Xiao's appearance at this time, he was as calm and calm as when he just entered, as if he had drunk a cup of tea inside and then came out to breathe.
Deacon Gu actually saw this situation, but in the more than ten years he was on duty on the fourth floor of the Shenglong Tower, he only saw two cases. All of them were amazing people, and they were all famous figures in the martial arts hall that year. But the young man named Luo Xiao is very ordinary, could he be...
Luo Xiao replied a little embarrassedly: "Master Jianzheng, it's not that I don't want to persist, but that thing inside won't persist for a while!"
"What?!" Qin Qianqiu and Gu Deacon looked at each other in surprise, and the latter immediately rushed to the test room.
In just a few breaths, Deacon Gu slammed the door and stared at Luo Xiao, and was surprised for a while before he could speak: "It's destroyed! That thing was destroyed!"
He had seen those two amazing and beautiful people back then, and only made the evil spirits avoid being close to each other because of the strong qi and blood, so he came out of seclusion in advance. However, with the power of qi and blood, a evil spirit was melted, and even a mysterious warrior like him dare not say that he could do it! How did this young man do it? How powerful is his qi and blood?
Qin Qianqiu was also surprised and couldn't help but enter the test room to check it out. After coming out, he looked at Luo Xiao's eyes different. He twitched his lips several times and wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask any questions. Qin Qianqiu also knew a little about Luo Xiao's cultivation in the martial arts hall. He knew that this young man was not outstanding before, and he did not show his extraordinary posture until nearly a month ago. This naturally reminded him of the abnormal movements of Longyuan Mountain, and this young man was the first to arrive at the scene...
However, as Qin Qianqiu said to Pang Yuanfeng, there are clever teachings in the hall, disciples will experience their experiences, and the teachers in the hall will not know the gains, so he will not see the opportunity after all. Therefore, he finally held back.
Deacon Gu was amazed: "Luo... Luo Xiao is right? You are very good, work hard, five years... Maybe it won't take five years, and the warrior is expected!"
Luo Xiao bowed and bowed: "Borrowing the deacon Jiyan. Uh, can I perform the third test?"
The deacon Gu glanced at Qin Qianqiu and nodded, "Okay, follow me."
Luo Xiao followed Deacon Gu to another test room. This test room was much larger than the first two test rooms, and there was a training table. When Luo Xiao saw a huge steel and wood puppet standing on the training table, he immediately understood what the opponent in the third test was.
"This is a killing puppet, which is completely different from the Taoist training puppet you trained in the martial arts hall." Deacon Gu led Luo Xiao to the training platform and asked him to check it up close.
Luo Xiao looked carefully for a long time and found that the killing puppet was nearly one head taller than him, and his appearance was similar to that of a human, like a strong strongman. The puppet was pitch black all over, with only one pair of eyes that were grayish-white, and looked quite weird and had weak courage. I am afraid that if I looked at it a few more times, my combat power would be reduced.
Luo Xiao tapped with his finger, and the tuk echo proved that it was indeed made of steel and wood instead of some weird metal. It felt that this killing puppet seemed to be no different except that it was one size larger than the tuk's puppet. If you have to say it was different, it was that there was a clear "Qianjiyuan" logo on its back, which was obviously a genuine product.
Looking at Luo Xiao's puzzled gaze, the ancient deacon smiled: "From the appearance, it is indeed no different. This is where the killing puppet is really different from the training puppet."
Deacon Gu turned behind the killing puppet, pressed it at the back of his head, and a panel rose up, revealing a secret square. Deacon Gu took out a box from his arms, and there was a spirit stone with a faint spiritual fluctuation.
Spiritual stones are extremely rare resources in a place with poor spiritual energy like the Heaven Realm. There are strict regulations and procedures for the application of each spiritual stone in Xiuwu Hall. The ancient deacon is a low-grade spirit stone, and has been used many times. There is not much spiritual energy left in it, but the ancient deacon looks precious and heavy, carefully pressing the spirit stone into the dark grid. With a sound of the ground, the dark grid sinks into the dark grid and the panel is restored.
At this time, Luo Xiao noticed an amazing phenomenon - the originally gray-white pupils of the killing puppet actually lit up two dark red spots, just like the finishing touch of the painting. The cold puppet exuded a fierce murderous intent. At this moment, the puppet seemed to be no longer a dead object, but came alive.
The ancient deacon stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems you understand that the difference between the two is that the Taoist puppet is a dead thing, at best, it is just a high-level sandbag, while the Taoist puppet is a living thing - at least before the energy of the lower-grade spirit stone is exhausted, it is a living thing that can exert the strength of the fifth-level warrior."
At this time, Qin Qianqiu walked over with his hands and said, "The rules are very simple. Go to the training platform to fight against the killing puppet. If you don't get knocked down within a moment, you will pass."
Luo Xiao understood that according to the ancient deacon, this killing puppet has the strength of a fifth-level warrior. If he could persist for a moment, it would mean that the ten-six-minded casual skills he had practiced had reached a small success.
Luo Xiao nodded and saluted Qin Qianqiu and Gu Deacon. When Gu Deacon turned around and stepped down, Luo Xiao suddenly asked more: "How long can the energy of that low-grade spirit stone last?"
The ancient deacon looked back and smiled: "Half a minute."
Luo Xiao glanced at the corner of his mouth, so that's it.
Deacon Gu said, "It's OK to start", and walked off the training platform and watched side by side with Qin Qianqiu.
Qin Qianqiu knew that Deacon Gu had been in charge of the fourth floor of the Dragon Tower for many years and had good eyesight, so he asked: "Lao Gu, do you think this little guy can defeat the Taoist killing puppet within the time limit?"
Deacon Gu thought for a while and said, "The Ten Thousand Swords are mainly about capturing, counter-joint, fierce and fierce, and are of superior martial arts. However, this set of martial arts is just ineffective against killing the Tao puppets. Therefore, it is impossible to defeat, but from the previous performance of this, it should be possible to persist for a while."
Qin Qianqiu nodded slightly, knowing that the ancient deacon had a good analysis. He had read Luo Xiao's information and knew that he had once scratched and cracked a Taoist puppet with one blow. However, as the ancient deacon said before, the Taoist puppet is just a dead object, while the Taoist puppet is a living object, and it is a killing puppet with the strength of a fifth-level warrior!
Deacon Gu suddenly said, "Look, he has taken action."
On the training platform, the killing puppet took mechanical steps and approached.
Luo Xiao's body technique was light and erect, slowly circled around, his eyes were like lightning and searching for the weaknesses of the Taoist puppet. When his eyes fell on his lower limbs, it suddenly lit up. After all, the Taoist puppet was not a living person, and his flexibility was not as flexible as a real person, and his balance was also poor, so his lower limbs were extremely thick, and the two big feet were about the size of a basin, so that they could support their giant body.
The next moment, Luo Xiao walked like a meteor, as fast as thunder, and just rushed towards the killing puppet.
Qin Qianqiu and Gu Deacon were both stunned. He never expected that Luo Xiao was so fierce, or he was so fierce, and used his short attack to collide with the inanimate body!
Just as Luo Xiao contacted the killing puppet, Luo Xiao raised his foot, stomped his foot, then rotated it inwardly and crushed it - crack! The killing puppet was a giant iron wood foot split into pieces, and the entire giant body suddenly lost balance. He was hit hard by Luo Xiao and flew out of the ground and fell off the training platform.
Although Luo Xiao's collision was fierce, it obviously did not have much impact on the killing puppet that had added ironwood to create the upper body. It supported it with both hands and wanted to stand up to give Luo Xiao a cruel one. However, it fell down as soon as it was supported, and then fell down again and again, losing a big footboard, and could not support it no matter what.
Ten Thousand Side Hands: Crushing Toe!
